Is that a Tavor with an AR carry handle on it?

Yes

man, i wish i could have guns here in mexico

legaly

@RoflTank. Actually ancient romans put their gear on mules or slaves which followed the legion around

To the point that by removing camp followers and forcing a standing army to train in peacetime (as well as massively expanding the military by equipping poor Romans who could not afford swords armor etc) Gaius Marius's gave soldiers the nickname "Marius's Mules" and gave them a decisive strategic advantage in both combat readiness and marching speed

Virgin Navy Seal:
Trains for military whole life, has only one career,
can't find Bin Laden for years although has the mightiest military in human history behind him
follows orders
many movies made about Seals, nobody likes them

Chad Serbian Soldier:
Worked as butcher before war, works as butcher during war
Has a side career as musician
Has time to dance in woods during the siege, doesn't need orders
Creates a timeless video with no budget at all

UBL died at Tora Bora in 02

Of course SEALs couldn't find him

he was a cia nigga

Also chad serbian soldier: shoots down stealth bombers

*fighters

@keldoclock Neat, TIL that the robomule is literally just a rehash of an ancient concept, shoving all of your gear on to a beast of burden so you don't have to carry it.

The Serbians only got away with that because the USAF was blatantly ignoring SOP and flew the same fucking route night after night, and the Serbians were able to watch it take off and land. They figured out how long it took flying the same fucking route EVERY TIME which is a big no-no. They then mounted a radar system in a civilian aircraft which could be slaved to a SAM launcher. When that F-117 took off from where it was stationed to fly the same fucking route as it always did, an observer called it in, the Serbian radar place took off and waited under the flight path of that Nighthawk, and when the bomb bay doors opened, the Serbian Express locked onto the bird and the SAM flew true. Literally all that effort for a minor propaganda victory, only made possible because the USAF thought "Hurr Durr sneek boi" meant they could ignore the basics of not getting fucking shot down during air raids.

Serbia was in the right during the Balkan wars, but the Nighthawk shootdown was a fucking meme.

Come sin with me comrades

Even being able to lock an F-117 is fucking impressive

I've seen interviews with the guy who led the design team

He's fuckin funny

At one point he was like "we literally started with a diamond and just took pieces off until it looked roughly aircraft shaped"

And then followed it up with "it honestly shouldn't even be able to fly, because it's about as aerodynamic as a brick, but we shoved enough electronics in to it to somehow get it off the ground"

It was literally built from the ground up specifically to have a near-zero RCS, everything was secondary, including the ability to actually fly.

They built a plane not to fly, but to be sneeki beeki

One wonders how electronics makes a plane fly

One time I put the delta ring on an AR after the barrel nut

@Inazuma By managing trim and control surface adjustments to maintain aerodynamic stability on inherently unstable aircraft. The F-117 is a nice lifting body and provides enough thrust to comfortably get off the ground, but that doesn't mean it can fly, or fly particularly well. So rather than have a pilot scramble to fight an aircraft that doesn't want to stay in the air, a computer does it for them.

So it's just constant auto adjusting, okay

It layers pilot input on top of its own input to achieve the desired maneuvers while keeping a flying brick flying

So the problem wasn't it couldn't fly, it was it wasn't stable. That makes more sense

Oh no it absolutely cannot fly without flight control systems

It will crater the end of your runway if you even try to take off with it manually

Flight control systems are basically magic in their ability to make things fly, and fly *well*, even if they really shouldn't.

Oh yeah, did you seem my MOWAS cap

Made the worse sling ever
